(226) 777-0099

I just got a call from the same # and talked with some guy in India.  He said the same thing - that he was just trying to save my computer and if I didn't care about losing my "important files" then that was up to me.  I told him that I already had anti-virus software and he said that whatever was infecting computers wasn't a virus.  When I asked for more information, he just insisted that I follow the steps that he would give me to check if my computer was at risk.  He was really high pressure and treated me like an idiot, so beware women.  Don't give out any information and just hang up.  It's a scam.

I just got one of these calls. He couldn't understand why I didn't run over to my "compooooter" to input the information. Well duh, I'm not a complete moron (some parts are missing) so of course I'm not going to do that. I may not be a total techie but I'm pretty confident my computer doesn't give out my phone number and tell outside sources when it's "sick".  I really hope people don't fall for this stuff.

24 Oct. 2010Got call from Brad last night, wanted me to go to computer right away - urgent .  Needed to be fixed now. Stalled - had visitors, got # 1-226-777-0099 to cb later.  Check #- canada 411 - in London, Ontario area - no address.  Affirmed my doubts- scam- as Mircosoft isn't that interested in my little old computer.  Won't be calling you Brad,  sorry!!!!!

Here is a video from Symantec, made when they contacted PC doctor.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXdFRzkIypI&feature=player_embedded#!

a guy named SANDY WILLIAMS called my mother on behalf of "customer helpline" regarding problems with her emails.. she thought it was odd .. and when she told me .. i asked her to get his name and number....226 777 0099 ... i also thought SCAM.. seeing how I do her troubleshooting for her...well it appears my gut feeling was right based on the info above ... hope this little bit helps

I recieved 2 calls from  pc doctor they stating i needed to fix my computer,, they said windows had given them my number and it was ok to do what they wanted, i said to call me back the next day, and i called my computer person, he said hed never heard of such a thing, so when they called me back, i said no thank you

Just got a call from somone claiming to work for pc doctor.  He proceeded to tell me about people complaining that they were getting things downloaded to their computers that was causing their computer to crash.  He went thru the same routine that Derek reported and when I asked for a name and number he said his name was "Brad" and gave me the 226-777-0099 number.  I told him I didnt trust him because he wouldnt give me the number til I presisted and then quite annoyed said to me "Im only trying to help save your computer ..if you dont want to save your computer thats up to you"  to which I politely said "goodby" and ended the call.  What made me suspicious was the caller ID showed the number as 1-000-000-0000.  I was doubly suspicious when a person with a heavy asian accent told me his name was "Brad"

Received a call from this number telling me that my windowsxp might not be protected.  The person on the phone wanted to check my system but I was suspicious about this call.  Not sure what company this is from.  The caller kept mentioning Microsoft. Has anyone else had a call from this number?

Recieved a phone call from these guys saying they work for Microsoft. They said they were doing tests with peoples Windows systems and that a large majority were inadvertantly infected with something.They had me go to Start>Event Viewer>Windows Logs>System, and then they would point out any "Error" messages that i have and they would say "Oh no!" in a horrible actor way. That was extremely fishy, even though i knew this from the start. They then proceeded to put me on the line with a technical rep. He then said the same "Oh no!" and then told me to visit a website "www.virtualpcdoctor.com".I didn't go on the website, instead i told them a fuse went out so my system shut down. They asked if they could call back in an hour. I said no, because i have to leave town for a couple of months on a business trip. They asked where i was going, and i told them i couldn't tell them because i work for the government.The "technical rep" then went "Wooaah..." in the context of "We may have called someone we shouldn't have". Then i asked for a number to contact them and they said "1-226-777-0099." and then i said "Thanks" and hung up.I did research on "Virtual PC Doctor" and the first link on good contained the word "Scam" which then validated my theory.
